LARGEST EXPOSITION EVER HELD— LIFE, COLOR, MOTION, DEMONSTRATION 



The Louisiana Purchase Exposition, or World's Fair, at St. Louis, is in 
all respects the greatest ever undertaken in any country. It is more than 
ten times the size of the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo in point of 
floor space in the exhibit palaces, twice as large as the Columbian Exposi- 
tion at Chicago, about three times larger than the last Paris Exposition and 
twenty or more times larger than the expositions at Omaha, Nashville, 
Atlanta, San Francisco or Charleston. 

This World's Fair will present a new and important development of the 
exposition idea, showing the evolution of the raw materials through all the 
processes of manufacture to the finished product. It will be an exposition 
of life, color, motion and demonstration in every part where practicable. 

To reach the World's Fair grounds from the Union Station, where all 
trains entering St. Louis deposit their passengers, the visitors may take 
Laclede or Market street cars direct to the fair grounds, or take any car 
on Eighteenth street going north, transfer at Pine street, Olive street or 
Washington avenue, to any car going west, having World's Fair sign on. 

In issuing this little pahmphlet the compiler has confined himself to facts 
and figures, expressed in a brief manner, without romancing. The items 
herein mentioned are only a few of the many tens of thousands of other 
matters of interest worthy of mention in connection with the great exposi- 
tion. The average visitor to an exposition is entranced by the gorgeous 
Monuments of Industry seen on all sides, and seldom stops to think of the 
magnitude of the undertaking of building a great and glorious exposition. 
This great work, which is under the supervision of the director of works, 
Mr. Isaac S. Taylor, is the actual foundation on which the success of the 
exposition must stand. Civil and mechanical engineers of the very highest 
order in all trades must be appointed. Architects, designers, draftsmen, 
sculptors, modelers, superintendents, etc., must be engaged. The line must 
first be established; roads laid out and made; buildings staked; the course 
of rivers must be changed and harnessed; mountains cut down; ravines 
filled in; miles of sewers laid; two miles of canals and waterways must 
be dug, entailing the removal of hundreds of thousands of yards of earth; 
subways for the reception of electric wires and for the transmission of 
power must be built; twenty different mechanical departments organized; 
plans, details and specifications drawn for the guidance of contractors; and 
the actual preparation, supervision, and construction of no less than twenty 
millions of dollars Avorth of works which must be completed in less than 
two years. This gigantic undertaking is being carried out by that able 
engineer, architect, artist, mechanic and gentleman, Mr. Isaac S. Taylor, 
director of works of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, to whom this 
pamphlet is dedicated.

LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION 

CELEBRATING THE CENTENNIAL OF THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE TERRITORY 
FROM FRANCE IN 1803 

GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The grounds are 9,500 feet long and 6,000 feet from north to south, com- 
prising 1,240 acres. The estimate cost of the Fair is $50,000,000. The 
magnitude of the Fair can be partially indicated by a glance at some of the 
principal features. What is called the "main picture" of the exposition occu- 
pies the northeastern section of the grounds, and, with the Festival Hall, 
Cascade Gardens and Colonade of States as a key to the picture, one sees 
the great exhibit palaces assembled along radiating avenues laid out in the 
form of a lady's open fan. From the southeastern gate, around the north- 
eastern fronts of the several great buildings, to the western limits, the 
distance is nearly two and three-quarter miles. Four great buildings, be- 
ginning with the Liberal Arts and taking the Palaces of Manufacture, Varied 
Industries and Transportation, have a northern frontage of three hundred 
feet more than a mile. The Government building is upon a high elevation, 
and from its loggias and porticos many interesting views are obtained. The 
two large buildings nearest the Government buildings are the Palaces of 
Liberal Arts and Mines and Metallurgy. Next comes the Plaza Orleans and 
the Palaces of Manufacture and Education. The broad space which divides 
the main group into two parts is known as the Plaza St. Louis. The promi- 
nent feature of this place is the Louisiana Purchase Monument, which 
stands near the north end of the Grand Basin. The surroundings of this 
plaza form the central picture of the Exposition. The Festival Hall, which 
is two hundred feet in diameter and two hundred feet high, with attendant 
colonades on either side, and the beautiful restaurant pavilions terminating 
them, closes the view on the southwest. Upon the slopes between the 
Colonades and the Grand Basin are the Great Cascades and Rainbow Gardens, 
giving extraordinary color and life to the scene. 

Behind the Festival Hall are four great buildings representing an ex- 
penditure of over $1,000,000, devoted to the display of Fine Arts. They con- 
tain a total of 135 galleries, and the exhibits constitute the largest art dis- 
play ever shown. The buildings on the west side of the Plaza St. Louis are 
the Palaces of Varied Industries and the Palace of Electricity. The Plaza 
of St. Anthony is next west of these buildings. The Palace of Transporta- 
tion, covering fifteen acres, and the Palace of Machinery, with its many 
towers, are the next buildings westward. Upon the high ground southwest 
of the Palace of Machinery is the Palace of Agriculture, covering twenty 
acres. South of Agriculture is the Palace of Horticulture. Westward from 
the Palace of Agriculture is the Philippine Reservation of forty acres, where 
twelve hundred Filipinos in native villages may be seen. The section 
alloted to the buildings of Foreign Nations is located west of the Palace of 
Transportation. Among the finer of these buildings are those of Belgium, 
Brazil, Great Britain, France, Italy, China, Sweden, Austria, Nicaragua, Cuba, 
Mexico, Siam, Ceylon and Canada. The Administration Building, Ethnology, 
Hall of International Congresses and Woman's Building are near together 
on the high ground west of the Foreign Buildings. South of the Administra- 
tion Building the large structure is the Palace of Forestry, Fish and Game. 
Near the Palace of Agriculture is the great Floral Clock, one hundred and 
twelve feet in diameter, and the lake in which the United States Life Saving 
Corps give daily exhibitions. The Pike amusement of the Exposition begins 
in the eastern part of the grounds and winds around the west end of the 
Transportation and Machinery Palaces to a point near the Art Buildings. In 
this distance of nearly two miles are seen the most novel entertainments 
that ingenious showmen have been able to devise. The Intramural Railway, 
having fourteen miles of track, carries the visitor to many interesting points 
within the grounds.

LOUISIANA PURCHASE. 

The purchase of the Louisiana Territory took place during the adminis- 
tration of President Thomas Jefferson, by whom the idea was first con- 
ceived. Jefferson instructed R. P. Livingston, United States Minister to 
France, to open negotiations with Napoleon I. Livingston was ably assisted 
by James Monroe, who was sent as the special envoy of Jefferson. The 
price paid for the Louisiana Territory was $15,000,000, and the land ac- 
quired was about 1.000,000 square miles, more than doubling the area of 
the United States at that time. The transfer of sovereignty from France 
to the United States took place at New Orleans on December 9th, 1803. 
The actual signing of the treaty took place on April 30th, 1803. The States 
formed from the original purchase include Montana. Colorado, Wyoming, 
North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas. 
Missouri, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Indian Territory. The total area of 
the lands of the Louisiana Purchase are greater than the combined area 
of France, Germany, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, the Netherlands, 
Belgium, Italy and Spain. 




THE EXPOSITION WORK OF PRESIDENT FRANCIS. 

By John C. Lebens, Publicity Department Louisiana Purchase Exposition 

The functions which David R. Francis, President of the Louisiana Pur- 
chase Exposition, performs in the Exposition enterprise, are, in many re- 
spects, those which the Director General performed in former expositions. 
President Francis differs, however, from the Director General in former 
expositions, in the fact that he does not receive, and has never received, 
a compensation for his Exposition work. This fact greatly augments his 
capacity for service. He is enabled to meet his Executive Committee and 
the Board of Directors more intimately and to discuss with them to better 
advantage the affairs of the Exposition. In exploitation work also this ab- 
sence of compensation has increased his capacity for service. His world- 
famous tour of Europe, in nineteen days, in which he met face to face most 
ot the chief executives of Europe, would have been impossible had he been 
a salaried chief. 

The work of President Francis in the Exposition includes the supervision 
of the four great divisions — Division of Exhibts, Division of Exploitation, Di- 
vision of Works and Division of Concessions and Admissions, among which 
the work of the Exposition has been apportioned. The director of each di- 
vision reports to him and his approval is necessary for the carrying out of 
all the great Exposition plans. He meets his directors every morning in 
cabinet session. His duties also include presiding at the meetings of the 
Board of Directors and at the meetings of the Executive Committee. He 
attends the important meetings of all Exposition committees and has been 
present at the letting of every big Exposition building contract. 

Not a small draft is made on the time of President Francis by what Di- 
rector of Works Taylor has called the "Department of Speech-Making and 
Hand-shaking." Every state and nation that has had a flag-raising, building 
dedication, site dedication, public dinner or other function, has demanded 
his presence and his voice. When the sites on the Fair Grounds were al- 
lotted to states, territories and organizations, he made 48 impromptu speech- 
es in two days, all on the same general subject, and yet all with a special 
application. 

President Francis has a large office on the second floor of the Administra- 
tion Building. Here he meets the distinguished visitors of which there has 
been a long and varied list, ranging from President Roosevelt to Madame 
Adelina Patti. 

President Francis' home, surrounded by half a block of grounds, is at 
Newstead and Maryland Avenues, in St. Louis. The home is a colonial man- 
sion planned along original lines. In a talk which President Francis made 
to the Architectural League of America, when it visited the Fair Grounds, 
he told that the architectural plan for his home was drawn from suggestions 
he received from two state buildings at the Columbian Exposition. 

The drafts made by the Exposition on the time of President Francis have 
been so great that he has been obliged to surrender the conduct of his 
down-town commission business to his brother and his sons. 

The record of President Francis is one of unbroken progress. He was 
graduated from Washington University, the new plant of which now forms 
a part of the Exposition, being occupied as Administration Building. Here 
he received the degree of A. B. Two other institutions of learning have 
added the degree LL. D. He was president of Merchants' Exchange, then 
Mayor of St. Louis, next Governor of Missouri, then Secretary of Interior 
of the United States in the cabinet of President Cleveland, and now Presi- 
dent of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. 

LIVE STOCK. 

This is the first World's Fair to give the live stock interests the prestige 
of an independent department with a separate chief. Its prize list and class- 
ification recognize all leading improved breeds and varieties of animals and 
fowls which have been domesticated by man. A site has been selected 
south of the Agriculture and Horticulture Buildings in the most desirable 
portion of the grounds for a great live stock show. The shows will open 
August 22, 1904, closing November 5,

FOREIGN COUNTRIES 

ARGENTINE REPUBLIC. 

The Argentine Republic is a reproduction of the second and third stories 
of the Government Palace at Buenos Ayres and is located near the main 
entrance to the Administration Building and north of the Austrian Pavilion. 

AUSTRIAN PAVILION. 

4 

The Austrian National Pavilion is the only example among the pavilions 
of foreign nations at the World's Fair of the "art nouveau" in architecture. 
The entire Austrian reservation of 200x115 feet will be covered by the struc- 
ture. The ground plan of the building is in the shape of the letter T, with 
the wing pointing to the front. Pine gardens are designed for either side : 
separated from the street by an ornamental screen, in the centre of which 
are sculptured fountains. Square towers, 47 feet high, flank the front 
of the pavilion, and sculpture and an ornamental flight of stairs enrich the 
entire front. There are thirteen saloons in the interior of the pavilion. 
Location west end of grounds. 

BRAZILIAN PAVILION. 

The Brazilian Pavilion, prominently located among the foreign group 
of buildings, is one of the finest of the foreign government buildings on 
the grounds. 

The Pavilion was projected by Col. F. M. Sousa Auglar, president of the 
Brazilian commission, whose ideas were carried out with much skill by 
Architect Charles H. Deitring and John Lewis Howard, of St. Louis. 

The cos", of the building approximated $130,000. 

BELGIUM. 

The Belgium Pavilion is located immediately east of the main entrance to 
Administration Building. 

A giant dome surmounted by the crown of Belgium stands over the center 
of the building. Mural paintings symbolical of the cities and provinces 
of Belgium form special features of the outside decoration. The size of the 
building is 204 feet by 62 feet. 

Architect Saintenoy is the designer. Fichefet et Freres, of Brussels, are 
the general contractors, represented in St. Louis by Mr. Gustav Chartrain. 

CUBA. 

The Cuban Building, located among the foreign group of buildings at 
west end c.f grounds, near Administration Buildings, is of the architecture 
of the Florentine renaissance. It has a fine inner court beautified with a 
fountain. On the outside are rows of fluted corinthian columns. The in- 
terior is divided into three compartments that are used for the offices of 
the commission. The single star of Cuba figures extensively in the deco- 
rations. 

Salvador-Quartella are the architects. Lang and Bergstrom were the 
builders. 

CANADA. 

The Canadian Building is situated between the Agriculture and Forestry 
Buildings, close by the floral clock. This building is used solely for admin- 
istrative and social purposes, and offers every facility of a club house to 
visitors. There are separate reception rooms for ladies and gentlemen. 
commiS'Sioners? rooms, large lecture rooms, offices, etc. The walls aro 
covered with paintings and photographs of Canadian scenes, etc. The Can- 
adian Building is one of the prettiest of the foreign buildings. 

John J. Dunnavant & Co., of St. Louis, are the builders.

FRANCE. 

The French Building is a reproduction of the Grand Trianon, the ancient 
French Castle of the days of Louis XIV. The Grand Trianon was built in 
1687, by the direction of Louis XIV, who wanted a more comfortable resi- 
dence for himself and his suite than the huge royal palace at Versailles. 
It is situated just within the grounds of the palace proper, and nearly 
every monarch who has reigned in France since its erection has used it 
as his private residence. The original royal palace, the Grand Trianon and 
the gardens, cost France in the vicinity of $240,000,000, and it is said that 
$16,000,000 of this was spent on the Grand Trianon. France has exhibits in

near Berlin. It was built at the end of the seventh century under the 
direction of Frederick I, first king of Prussia, by Andreas Schlueter, the 
greatest German architect of that period. Other buildings built by Ger- 
many are "Hauptgebaude und Restauration," with a famous "Kneipstube."

contractors of the building, decorating and furnishing of the British Pavil- 
ion are Geo. Trollope & Sons, of Belgrave Square, London, England, and, 
although not a stock company, have been established over a century and

CASCADES, 

The focal point of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition is a composition 
made up of three big cascades, the largest in the world; the Colonnade of 
States, an ornamental screen of Ionic columns forming a background for 
14 statues each symbolical of one of the scaies or territories in the purchase: 
three highly ornate buildings, including Festival Hall in the center and two 
ornate restaurant pavilions at either end. Added to this and filling in the 
picture are flower beds, trees, vases, walks and approaches. 

Xo decorative feature of the Exposition has attracted so much attention 
throughout the world as the Cascade Gardens, nor does any other portion 
of the Fair approach it in grandeur. The dome of the Festival Hall, in 
the center of the peristyle, is much larger than that :: St Peter's, at Rome. 
It was designed by Cass Gilbert, of New York. Restaurant pavilions, per- 
istyle and cascades ind the general scheme of the Grand Basin was done 
by Mr. E. L. Masqueray, Chief of Design of the Exposition.

for the side cascades by Isadore Konti. The open space between the cas- 
cades are parked in lawns with borders of flowers, which will change with 
the seasons during the Exposition period. Jets of water along the^sides 
of the cas ill be thrown 100 feet. Under the main cascade where 

the water takes its deepest plunge there is a subterranean grotto, beauti- 
fully lighted, supplying a view cf the tumbling waters of the cascade 
through three big arcaded open

STATUARY AT SIDE OF CASCADES 




ATLANTIC OCEAN 



PACIFIC OCEAN 



The Atlantic Ocean will be sym- 
bolized in the central group by a 
youth— the spirit of that body of 
water — standing in clouds, with one 
arm raised, controlling the great 
ocean. At his feet an eagle, the king 
of birds, typifies the restless turbulent 
character of the Atlantic. Beneath 
the figure are two children with fish. 
This whole group surmounts a globe 
—the highest point on the cascades 
from whence the water first flows. 



The Pacific Ocean will be typified 
in the central group by a flying fe- 
male figure with an albatross. In the 
bird, floating in the air, one feels the 
passive calm character of the Pacific. 
On eaclrside, twenty-five feet below, 
will be groups; one, a boy who plays 
with a polar bear cub; the other, a 
draped female figure, with a seabird 
symbolizing the animal wealth of the 
colder countries bordering on _the 
Pacific.

EXHIBITS. 

Mr. Frederick J. V. Skiff, one of the leading, if not the leading, Exposition 
expert of the world, is Director of Exhibits. The Division of Exhibits is the 

_,.. m^^^ generic and, of course, the most ex- 

<\ tensive Division of the Exposition. 

It embraces 16 leading departments, 
subdivided into 144 groups, covering 
every feature of the earth's resources 
and man's activity. 

These 16 grand departments are: 
Education, Art, Liberal Arts, Manu- 
facture, Machinery, Electricity, 
Transportation, Agriculture, Horti- 
culture, Fish and Game, Forestry, 
Mines and Metallurgy, Social Econ- 
omy, Physical Culture, Anthropology, 
and Live Stock. Under these divi- 
sions the exhibits of the Exposition 
will be arrayed. 

A staff of experts, designated 
Chiefs, has been selected by the Di- 
rector of Exhibits to head the above 
departments, and to superintend the 
selection, collection and installation 
of the exhibits of the Exposition. 
This will be the first Exposition man- 
aged by experienced men. Chicago 
and Paris were great educators and 
training schools, from which have 
Frederick j. v. skiff been chosen the best material. In 

each case, in connection with the above departments, the best man who 
could be found has been selected for the work. The dominant idea of the 
Exposition will be life and motion. Color, variety, activity, demonstration, 
will characterize the exhibits. There will be no such array of still life as 
at Paris and Chicago. Every manufacturer who gets space will be expected 
to install upon it something novel and show how it works. Living pictures 
of industry and running machinery will be shown; the processes of the 
manufacture of all articles, their evolution from the crude to the finished 
state. Too much importance cannot be attributed to this active phase of 
the St. Louis Exposition. It will mean that the exhibits will be interesting 
instead of fatiguing. It has been the especial care of Director of Exhibits 
Skiff to bring about this condition, and his experience and ability warrant 
a most gratifying result.

previous expositions at home and abroad. 

California's building is patterned after the Mission buildings for which the 
State is world-famous, embracing the long arcaded cloisters and the semi- 
circular ornaments over the entrances. California's chief displays are in the 
Agriculture, Horticulture, Mining and Forestry Buildings. "California will 
show the features in which it differs from other States," said Mr. Filcher, 
"While we raise wheat and mine gold and silver, other States do the same. 
California, however, excels in the production of olives and olive oil, raisins, 
prunes, apricots, canned fruits and conserves, in oranges and in honey. Its 
quicksilver mines are practically unique in the United States. It is these 
features that California will show."

MISSOURI STATE BUILDING. 

"Roman architecture with an American feeling" is the way in which Mr. 
Isaac S. Taylor, architect of the Missouri State Building at the Louisiana 
Purchase Exposition, describes the style of architecture of that structure. 

Missouri's Building consists of three monumental masses connected by 
balconied links; the center mass, dome-crowned and towering, and profusely 
decorated with sculpture. The dome, a perfect hemisphere, unembellished by 
a single rib or moulding, is gilded and crowned by a "Winged Victory." A 
beautiful colonnade of coupled Corinthian columns, each couple of columns 
crowned with a seated figure, surrounds the drum of the dome. This con- 
struction surmounts the central mass, at each corner of which there is a 
gigantic sculptured group symbolic of the arts of peace — Music, Literature, 
Art and Architecture. The building, which is 332 feet long and 160 feet wide, 
is completely surrounded on two floors by balconies and porches which sup- 
ply an uninterrupted promenade about the building at two levels, one thirty 
feet above the other, and furnish a view of the Exposition from all sides. As 
the building stands on an elevation behind the Government Building, a spec- 
tator on the balconies will obtain a fine view of the main picture of the Fair. 
Another similar promenade 15 feet wide surrounds the dome at its base, 130 
feet above the Exposition grounds. A monumental stairway 45 feet wide, in 
four terraced flights, leads up to the main entrance of the Missouri Building. 
On either side of this entrance are large single figures allegorical of Beauty 
and Strength. On the attic of the entrance is the word "MISSOURI" flanked 
by the coat of arms of the state — a quartered shield supported by two bears, 
with the motto, "Salus Populi Suprema Lex Esto." 

The visitor entering the building will find himself in a gigantic rotunda 
76 by 76 feet, the roof of which will be the frescoed soffit of the dome. An 
electric fountain in the center of this rotunda will spurt water, artificially 
cooled, which will cool the surrounding spaces to an agreeably temperature 
on the hottest day. At a semi-circular desk at one end of this rotunda the 
host of the Missouri Building will be always waiting like a clerk in a hotel to 
welcome the visitor. Passing through the rotunda the visitor will reach the 
Hall of State in a wing at the southern side of the building. This auditorium' 
which is 50 by 75 feet, exclusive of the rostrum, and 40 feet high, has seating 
accommodations for nearly 1,000 persons. Under the rostrum there is a re- 
frigerating plant and a kitchen. The masses which flank the central mass 
contain exhibit halls extending from floor to ceiling with an observation 
gallery surrounding them on four sides. These exhibit halls, which contain 
5,000 feet of floor space, are top lighted. The western one shows the build- 
ing resources of Missouri — woods, stones, clays, etc. The eastern exhibit 
room shows the general resources of the State. The Governor's suite is on the 
first floor — the southern rooms in the western connecting link. The inte- 
rior finish of the Governor's suite, the hall of state and the auditorium, is 
composed of Missouri-grown satin walnut, furnished gratis by the producers 
of Southeast Missouri, the only place in the world where this beautiful ma- 
terial can be obtained. In the western balconied link, on the second floor, 
a comfortable parlor and rooms for the use of the commissioners are pro- 
vided. The eastern balconied link, on the second floor, contains an hospital 
and creche, and women's retiring room. The lower floors contain postoffice, 
check-room, register desk, information bureau, toilet and lavatory con- 
veniences, etc. 

The sculpture of the building consists of "Winged Victory" on top of 
the dome; eight seated figures at base of cupola; four groups on the pylons 
flanking the dome; two figures — "Love" and "Strength" — to right and left 
of main entrance; two groups in front of the side masses, or exhibit halls. 
Estimate of cost: Building proper, $141,600; refrigerating plant, $20,000: 
sculpture, $15,000; electric fountain gushing ice water, $3,000; mural decora- 
tions, $5,000; total, $184,600. 

Strelow & Phelps are the general contractors.

MAINE. 

The Maine Building, located prominently on the plateau of States at south- 
east corner of grounds, is composed entirely of materials from her fields and 
forests, fashioned and put together in Maine then taken down, transported 
to St. Louis and re-erected. It is a very successful effort to show what 
a handsome, commodious and homelike structure can be fashioned of logs and 
shaved shingles, with chimneys built of stones picked up in the fields. In- 
cluding piazzas it covers a space of 140x68 feet. The entrance in the 
center of the building, opens into a spacious hall. This hallway is 44x24 
feet, and opposite the entrance is seen a huge fireplace flanked on either 
side by a comfortable seat. The interior space of the building is divided into 
toilet rooms, ladies' sitting rooms, commissioners' offices and exhibit rooms.

NEW YORK. 

The New York Building, located on the plateau of States at southeast 
corner of grounds, is of marked simplicity and dignity, consistent with the 
traditions of the Empire State. The building is colonial in design and 
detail and surmounted with a low dome. The architect, Mr. Clarence Luce, 
of New York State, has planned to surround the building with a podium 
like that in the government building, with the staff wall running to the 
ground. Where the staff will be highest, the architect has planned to in- 
stall a fountain or cascade of considerable size to rush from a niche into 
a big basin. 

Caldwell & Drake are the general contractors for the New York State 
Building. The cost was $57,000. The sculpture, to include four equine 
groups, one for each corner, and a fountain representing the union of the 
Missouri and the Mississippi Rivers is by Philip Martiny, of New York, and 
increases the total cost to $75,000.

ARKANSAS BUILDING 

SUCCESSFUL EXPOSITION ARCHITECTS. 

The work of designing exposition buildings is extremely difficult, owing to 
the fact that structures used for this purpose have a form of construction 
entirely different from any other buildings erected, and for that reason 
require very careful study, not only as to outline, and architectural details, 
but also the faithful consideration of every part from an engineering stand- 
point. This requirement has brought to St. Louis the ablest men in the 
profession in this particular line, and it is to them that the press and gen- 
eral public should attribute a large amount of the credit due for the success 
of this grand enterprise. 

Among the foremost of the men in the architectural profession who are 
specialists in exposition work, and to whom much credit is due, we may 
mention such men as compose the firm of Carson, Hudson & Co., who, by 
reason of their widely recognized ability as leaders of their profession, have 
been commissioned *by most of the best-known concessionaires to prepare 
designs for the most important amusement concessions on the Pike. Having 
made exposition work their peculiar study at all former expositions of recent 
years, we consider the concessionaires specially fortunate in being able to 
secure the services of this firm, and, owing to their untiring efforts, there 
is no doubt that the architectural features, together with the gorgeous 
electrical effects of the many Midway shows, will be of such surpassing 
grandeur as shall establish to the world the superiority of this over any 
former exposition.

Forestry, Education, Manufactures, Mines and Metallurgy, Machinery and 
Anthropology. 

TEXAS. 
South of Mines and Metallurgy Building. 

The Texas State Building can easily be found among the state buildings by 
its style of architecture, which is a symbol of Texas. The building is in the 
form of a huge five-pointed star, and in carrying out the general idea Mr. 
Louis J. Wortham, the originator, has so arranged the various portions of 
the building's construction, interior and exterior, so that the Lone Star 
of Texas is always before the eye of the visitor. Texas will expend, for ex- 
position purposes, $200,000. 

The contract price for the Texas Building was $45,562. James F. Taylor, 
of Houston, is the General Contractor. The Commission has three assembly 
stations for the collection of exhibits; one at Houston for agricultural ex- 
hibits, one at Austin for mineral exhibits, one at Fort Worth for agricultural

WEST VIRGINIA BUILDING. 

Located on Plateau of States. 

West Virginia's building, a handsome structure of the Colonial type of 
architecture, is 100x120 feet, and stands close to and directly west of Colo- 
rado's building. Porches 16 feet wide extend on three sides, and at the 
rear the porch is ten feet wide. The main part of the structure is square, 
but the large porches in the center of each facade, supported by six large 
Corinthian columns, cause the building to assume the shape of a Greek 
cross. On each corner rises a tower surmounted by a small dome. Rising 
from the center of the building is a huge classical dome, on the summit of 
which stand the sculptured figures of two deer. 

The exterior finish of the building is staff and plaster. The interior is 
finished in woods from West Virginia, and the ceilings are of ornamental 
metal, donated by the manufacturers of the State.

THE PIKE. 



The Pike is the Polyglot thoroughfare of the world. All tongues, creeds 
and customs are the vogue along its homogenous way. A galaxy of forty 
stupendous amusements extend a distance of one and one-half miles, from 
the entrance of the Plaza of St. Louis, westward to University Way, wheeling 
on a sharp angle at that point to continue in a direct line south, between tha 
Palaces of Transportation and Machinery on the east, and the foreign govern- 
ment plaza and the Palaces of Agriculture and Horticulture on the west. 

In describing these amusement features, the compilers have commenced 
at the eastern end of the Pike, near the main entrance, and give brief de> 
scriptions of each attraction according to their respective location. 

TYROLEAN ALPS. 

One of the most interesting, original and instructive of the many conces 
sions is that conceived by the originator, Mr. Adolphus Busch, of St. Louis 
Mountain scenery with Alpine villages dot the ascentsi of the mountains, 
and the life and motion of the Tyrol is portrayed by bands of peasants 
garbed in the native dress, who are also professional warblers and singers. 
Prussian and Bavarian bands, each composed of sixty selected musicians, 
will give daily concerts. One of the notable features is a first-class res- 
taurant, with a seating capacity of fifteen thousand. The exhibit, which was 
one of the most successful at the Dusseldorf Exposition, will be brilliantly 
illuminated by pyrotechnics and electricity. 

IRISH VILLAGE. 

The Irish Village occupies an area of 350x600 feet and is located near the 
main entrance to the Pike. Local scenery from the most famous parts of 
Ireland, the Blarney Castle, Kissing Stone, Irish Jaunting Cars, Old House 
of Parliament at Dublin, St. Lawrence's Gate, Carmac's Castle, etc., are 
some of the features. Irish drama is played by Irish actors. There is also 
a fine exhibition of Irish linen, laces and carpets. A famous band of sixty 
"Sober Dublin Musicians" enlivens the scenes. 

UNDER AND OVER THE SEA. 

Under and Over the Sea is a trip in a submarine boat, sinking into real 
water to begin its voyage through the coral reefs of the Atlantic and proceeds 
to Paris, where the bewildered passengers re-embark on an airship from 
the pinnacle of the Eiffel Tower, returning over the ocean in the midst of a 
terrific storm and a beautiful dawn effect. 

STREETS OF SEVILLE. 

In the Streets of Seville smartly gowned senoritas and gaudy Romanys con- 
gest the Plaza de Torros at Madrid, the quaint market place of Triana, with 
its storekeepers offering their wares. The Gypsy Lane of Barcelona nutters 
with color. Spanish dances are given in the Theatre de los Flores. 

The Court of Lions of the Alhambra is considered by artists to be the 
climax of Moorish architectural attainment, the most beautiful part of the 
most beautiful building in Spain. It receives its name from the fact that 
in the center of the court is a fountain supported by sculptured lions. 

The theatre features of Seville reveal all the excitement incidental to a 
real bull-fight. There are over 200 figures about 28 inches high, which, by 
means of mechanical and electrical effects, perform all of the evolutions of 
a real Spanish bull-fight, without any of the objectionable features.

PARIS, ON THE PIKE 
50 



MYSTERIOUS ASIA. 

The general plan contemplates a most interesting representation of Asiatic 
Countries, including faithful reproductions of the most historical and educa- 
tional buildings of India; the Mahal Temple of Asia; street productions from 
historical Delhi, and Calcutta with its picturesque bungalows and decorated 
buildings. Burmah, the land of the white elephant, its idolatrous inhabitants, 
and the Golden Temple of Rangoon, etc. 

Dancing girls of Burmah accompanied by native musicians perform all the 
evolutions of the religious and fantastical dances of their country. The 
next point of attraction is Persia, the mysterious country of Asia, with its 
rug markets, architectural buildings, caravans, dromedaries, sedan chairs, 
mules, etc. In bazaars occupied by all types of Persian traders and Orientals, 
the visitor may purchase rugs, laces, silks, embroideries, jewelry, etc., which 
are manufactured in the various booths before him. 

In connection with the special amusement features, there will be a beauti- 
ful and conspicuous building erected in the original Oriental style of archi- 
tecture to be known as the Asiatic Theatre, where performers from the 
above countries will appear in numerous and amusing features. 

A native India Restaurant conducted by H. S. Souhami, who is interested 
in Asia as chief of exploitation and is one of the unique features of Asia. 
Mr. Souhami has imported native cooks, who will prepare special currie 
dishes of all sorts, and force of natives of both sexes, dressed in their 
native costumes and original Indian headgear, will attend to the wants of the 
patrons. The restaurant is lavishly decorated and illuminated. 

Mr. Souhami, who is a prominent oriental merchant, has also several stores 
in the Pike. 

TEMPLE MIRTH. 

This conception consists of a series of concaves and convex mirrors, so 
arranged as to give the most absurd, grotesque reflections to the visitor, who 
is lost and trying to find his way out. The plans are entirely new aha* 
novel, and are more difficult than any ever contemplated. Over one hundred 
French, plate mirrors are used in the display, 

Electrical dancers, such as the moon, sun, cloud, flower, star, storm and 
the famous fire dance, which will be reproduced amongst the most weird 
surroundings, introducing magnificent scenes and realistic and mysterious 
volcanic fires form part of the attraction. Other features of this crystal 
labyrinth are the Hall of Laughter, the Mystic Bottomless Well, the Spring 
of Mirth, etc. 

Fernand Akoun is the concessionaire. 

MOORISH PALACE. 

Plastic art attains high perfection in the Moorish Palace where historic 
East Indian customs are illustrated. There are also productions from Madam 
Touzards in London, England, also life-sized groups of foreign princes, 
potentates, nabobs, etc. Massive tableaux portray events in the acquisition 
of the Louisiana domain, the discovery of the Mississippi, the burial of 
De Soto, the transfer of Louisiana, and the Louis and Clark expedition. 

HEREAFTER. 

The special features are constructed from scenes of Dante's "Inferno," and, 
while vividly recalling Dore's illustrations, "Hereafter" is by no means' 
composed of pictures. The visitor is taken down into the bowels of the 
earth and through actual caverns, where he meets all the most weird and 
life-like inhabitants of Hades, the various sources of punishment for the 
transgressor, for all manner of sins are, by means of electrical and mechan- 
ical effects, vividly portrayed. After this interesting journey the visitor 
is conducted through openings in the solid rock, where the most famous 
masterpieces from Milton's "Paradise Lost" are represented, till, gazing 
enchanted at the spectacle produced, he witnesses the most delightful 
tableaux, which alone cost over $10,000 to install, representing the most 
glorious and sublime conception of living artists, an ever-to-be-remembere'd 
Hnale "The BurRt of Dawn." Carson-Hud poti & Co. aro the architects.

HUNTING IN THE OZARKS. 

Hunting in the Ozarks entices the lover of sport to step out of the busy 
Pike into the famous mountain region of Missouri, where the game is scared 
up from a natural landscape of forest and underbrush. A real train dashes 
through the wilderness. 

HAGENBECK'S ZOO. 

Hagenbeck's Zoo, Circus and Animal Paradise offers the thrilling sensation 
of meeting man-eating beasts in a jungle of growing vegetation without so 
much as a mosquito netting appearing to separate the spectator from danger. 
Giant tortoises carrying little children, giant reptiles, talking birds at perfect 
liberty and a caged arena of trained wild animals are striking features. 

PARIS. 

All the elements of gay Paris are reproduced in this concession, the Latin 
quarters, theatre, boulevards, dancing girls, acrobats, comedians, singers 
and dancers, and all the features of true Parisian life will be shown. 

Paris itself will hold the center of the stage. The Cabaret Bi avnt,1 
where artists, singers and. poets display, recite or sing their own produc- 
tions, will be a feature of the miniature city. In the theater there will 
be a continuous performance by dancers, acrobats and comedians. 

Some of the most beautiful women of France will pose in model pictures and 
artists' designs. The celebrated Champagne danceis have been engaged and 
will daily give exhibitions of their world-renowned dances. The greatest 
novelty acts of Europe have been engaged and the Paris Concession will give 
an entertainment of high class vaudeville never before seen in America. 

Emanuel Masqueray is the architect. 

ANCIENT ROME. 

Some of the chief features of the attraction are a large arena, where glad- 
iators, dressed in the picturesque costume of the ring, will strive for prizes 
offered in competition in the famous Chariot Race. 

Other features are a specially constructed Venetian Theatre, where a 
continuous performance will be given, showing the Roman Society Dance, 
in which 200 persons, assisted by some forty animals, including lions, tigers, 
leopards, etc., will vividly illustrate, in a realistic way, the slavery days of 
Ancient Rome. 

ROLTAIR'S CREATION. 

The visitor first enters a boat and is carried through scenes which illus- 
trates the works of God. Passing through grottoes and caverns he is shown 
the Grand Canon of Colorado, one of the wonders of the World. A scene in 
rugged Alaska, an orchard of cherry blossoms in full bloom, and later the 
scenes from the life of primeval man and all that might be included in the 
pre-historic ages. 

The visitor sees Egypt and still more ancient Assyria, where men and 
women walk about in the costume of those times. Greece, Rome, China, 
Japan, Spain, France, England, all pass before the visitor in the most realis- 
tic and wonderful life-like manner. So real are these features that the 
visitor may disembark at any of the cities mentioned and spend any amount 
of time before he reaches the climax of .the whole contained in the Dome, 
where he will be shown the Creation of the World.

A concession has been granted to the Imperial Concession Company ol 
St. Louis, for "Baby Incubators." In a specially constructed fire proof build

ers, and through the glass sides visitors may see how science cares for in- 
fants and insures their healthy growth. A force of skilled and trained

highly sanitary and scientific principle

Ocean Wave and the exhilarating effects are so spontaneous that all are 
loathe to leave the chariots and continue their ride again and again. 

The decorative features were all executed by Parisian artists. The machin-

sories, such as the architecture and furniture of times. 

The beginning is made with the Greek and Roman costumes, and the final 
stage has the latest development of the tailor's and dressmaker's arts, show- 
ing the modern styles produced by Worth, Redfern, Paquin, Doucet, Felix 
and others. 

GLASS WEAVING.

lage where are shown typical street scenes of that faraway country. Natives 
in their picturesque costumes sell from bazaars their curious wooden and 
lacquered wares, as well as laces never shown in this country. A Russian Thea- 
tre with forty actors, men and women, will entertain with native songs and 
dances, which are wonderfully lively and interesting. The famous ballalaika mus- 
ic will be heard. The Imperial troupe, direct from Moscow, will appear for 
the first time in this country. Tea will be served in typical Russian style 
by natives, in specially constructed tea-houses, while in the restaurants all 
the known delicacies of that country can be obtained. 

Carson-Hudson & Co. are the architects.

Eleven sections of the famous Bazaars of Stamboul are faithfully repro- 
duced from sketches by an aide-in-camp to the Sultan. The entrance from 
the Pike is that of the Mosque of Nouri Osmaneh. Narrow tortuos streets 
are crowded with Turkish merchants crying their wares, donkeys and the 
fighting dogs of Constantinople dodge between the spectators. 

ESQUIMAUX VILLAGE. 

An Esquimaux and Alaskan Village concession is the latest concession 
awarded, and with its snow scenes and glaciers will bid for honors with the 
Tyrolean Alps. Richard Craine is the concessionaire. The facade of the 
show will exhibit beetling cliffs, fields of snow and glacier formations, with 
dogs and sleds and a tunnel in the snow of the cliffs to lend realism. 

Inside a tempting prospect of more icebergs and glaciers surrounding an 
arm of the Northern Sea will be offered. A fight between Esquimaux and 
savage dogs will afford a little warmth to the spectator. Native boats plying 
on real water, along the sides of which are ice crags, and stalagmites, and 
slalacites, will also serve to cool the heated visitor. An ice colonnade, 
booths for the sale of Alaskan articles and an illusion of Arctic wonders

The base is 55 feet in diameter. The crowning statue is Peace, calling the 
nations of the world together in friendly competition. 



SCENIC RAILWAY. 

A trip to the Pike would be incomplete without a trip on Thompson's cele- 
brated scenic railway. The main pavilion of this railway is one of the most 
striking structures to be seen on the Pike. The cars are drawn up a long, 
steep incline and then by force of gravity rush down across bridges over 
rushing torrents, through dark tunnels, passing in their flight many beauti- 
ful and inspiring sights of nature. The trip is over three miles long and 
with the main pavilion cost $250,000 to install. 

OLD PLANTATION. 

Ante-bellum days of the Southland are revived in the Old Plantation. 
Darkies in the cotton fields, mammies making corn pones and hoe cakes, 
pickaninnies scant of clothing, all revel in the true African idleness in the 
sunshine of the planters' fields. An African theatre gives the dancers and 
the mourners a chance. 

GALVESTON FLOOD. 

This concession deals with the great calamity which happened September 
8th, 1900, when a tidal wave and hurricane almost obliterated Galveston, 
Texas. The effects are produced in a theatre and show, not only the storm, 
but, after the storm, the sea wall, an engineering triumph which effectively 
protects Galveston from a recurrence of the great catastrophe. 

This concession, which was designed by Carson, Hudson & Co., of St. 
Louis, is under the management of E. W. McConnell. 

FIRE-FIGHTERS. 

Fire fighting achieves its greatest spectacular heights in the burning of a 
six-story block, the thrilling race of an expert crew holding the world's 
record for quick work and the rescue of living persons from the flames. An 
exhibition of fire apparatus hundreds of years old is an interesting feature 
of the exhibit. 

TRIP TO THE NORTH POLE.

plank is hauled in the visitor immediately feels the motion of the vessel and 
in realistic manner witnesses a storm at sea, signals of distress are fired and 
you are rescued by sailors in real life boats on real water. The visitor is 
conducted to an immense theatre where, by means of electrical and machan- 
ical effects, he enjoys all of the thrilling experience of a trip to the 
North Pole. 

SOUTH AFRICAN BOER WAR.

African trooper and the British contingent. General Piet Cronje and Gen. 
Ben Viljoen and Commandant Boshoff, head the Boer warriors, while Major 
Scott-Hardin, Captain Chapin, D. S. O., Captain Franklin and Captain

sieged Sultan took refuge during the late insurrection. The semi-barbaric 
life of that colorful capital is shown with the approval and assistance of

seen in the mimic metropolis.

the Palestine with all of the daily life of the ancient place. 

MODEL POULTRY FARM. 

Thoroughbred, domestic fowls of every variety known, including water 
fowls, pheasants, pigeons, etc., can be seen in the Model Poultry Farm. The 
main object of the owners is to put the poultry business before the people 
of the whole world in a manner worthy of the importance of the industry, 
and in this way to promote the breeding of thoroughbred fowls. 

A secondary object is to teach the most approved methods of mating, in- 
cubating, breeding, etc., etc. 

In the main pavilion is an incubator cellar of 40 machines capacity, and 
chicks, ducklings, etc., will be hatched each day during the season. "These 
will be advanced through indoor and outdoor brooders and colony pens, being- 
moved ahead one pen a day, until they are ready for the table. Then they 
will be scientifically fattened, killed and dressed, and served in the restau- 
rant attached, where no meals except poultry and poultry products will be 
served. 

Carson, Hudson & Co. are the architects.

FAIR JAPAN. 
Japanese life and manners as never before witnessed in the United States 
make the Japanese Village one of the interesting sights of the Pike. Parts of 
the Imperial gardens at Tokio, filled with very old trees trained in shapes 
of man, bird and beast, the Temple of Nikko, all the life of a street in 
Asakusa, 300 natives, jinrikashaws, roosters with tails twenty feet long, 
and Geisha girls with their dances and native rag making girls, from ten to 
fifteen years old, are some of the interesting features of the attraction. 
Carson-Hudson & Co. are the architects. 

MAGIC WHIRLPOOL. 

The spectator is taken in a boat along the v >rink of a real waterfall 60 feet 
in diameter and 40 feet high, when suddenly the boat is drawn beneath the 
falls, and plunges in a circular sweep to the bottom. The boat receives a 
whirling motion designed to give the spectator a sensation such as he 
would receive if he were whirled about in a seething maelstrom. After this 
thrilling experience the boat suddenly emerges with its load in the center 
of the basin into which the big waterfall plunges. Here an electric fountain 
that spouts real water to a height of sixty feet is installed, and around this 
the boat makes several circuits, landing finally close to the entrance to 
discharge its passengers. 

CLIFF DWELLERS. 

This concession will consist of the following features: A massive 
cliff over 100 feet in height by 250 in length, showing the ancient 
ruins of the pre-historic race. These ruins are reached by a narrow trail 
up the mountain side, and are readily accessible to the public, where they 
may view at close range the abodes of this extinct race. Passing back to 
terra firma, the visitors will find themselves in the Pueblo of the Taos, cover- 
ing over five acres of ground, containing over 100 dwellings and peopled by 
300 natives of the Moki and Zuni races, including men, women and chil- 
dren, the acknowledged descendants of the original "Cliff Dwellers." W. 
Maurice Tobin, manager. 

BATTLE ABBEY. 

The Battle Abbey concession under the management of E. W. McConnell, 
involves the erection, painting and exhibition of six cycloramas, represent- 
ing the battle of Yorktown, the Battle of New Orleans, the Battle of Buena 
Vista, the Battle of Gettysburg, the Battle of Manassa, and the Custer 
Massacre. 

A space of 400 feet by 250 feet is taken up by the exhibition. 

Carson-Hudson & Co. are the designers of this attraction. 

NAVAL DISPLAY. 

On a great harbor of water, with a scenic perspective of a fortified city, 
millions of visitors will see their first and last sea fight by exact models 
of famous vessels of the American Navy. Blockade runners are destroyed, 
the enemy's ship are sunk by torpedos and shells. There is a general en- 
gagement between the war vessels and the forts. 

EDUCATED HORSE. 

Jim Key, the famous educated horse, the only equine honorary member 
of the American Humane Society, and which, his owner says, enjoys the 
distinction of being the only equine millionaire in existence, having earner! 
over $1,000,000 during his public career, is to be a Pike attraction. A. R. 
Rogers, of South Orange, N. J., his owner, has been awarded a concession 
to show Jim's talents to Fair visitors. Mathematical problems, spelling and 
business system are easily solved by this gifted animal. Jim also travels in 
his own special car and has a valet to wait on him. His building is called 
the Golden Horseshoe Building. Carson-Hudson & Co are the architects.
